Office of Sustainability
The Office of Sustainability was established in 2008. It provides strategic and operational support to advance ETH Zurich in its institutional priorities and sustainability efforts. It leads, coordinates and strengthens sustainability activities and promotes a culture of environmental and social responsibility at ETH Zurich itself and in society.
The Office of Sustainability works closely with the Vice President for Infrastructure and Sustainability and the Sustainability Council, which will be established in 2025. ETH Sustainability implements joint projects and co-organises events with various departments, with units from all school domains, with the Student Sustainability Committee of the VSETH, the AVETH as well as external partners.
